[Health services for patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration in Germany].
Article in Der Ophthalmologe : Zeitschrift der Deutschen Ophthalmologischen Gesellschaft, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
In neovascular age-related macular degeneration (NVAMD) successful treatment outcome depends on regular intravitreal injections of vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors (anti-VEGF). Several observational trials on the use of ranibizumab in the clinical routine demonstrated a low injection frequency, a low number of ophthalmic reviews which included optical coherence tomography, and suboptimal treatment outcomes in Germany. To date it remains unclear whether the use of ranibizumab reflects the use of all anti-VEGF agents including aflibercept and bevacizumab in the clinical routine in Germany. However, based on available data, treatment provision and outcomes seem to be suboptimal, in particular for elderly patients with NVAMD. As poorly treated NVAMD carries a high risk of loss of vision and ultimately blindness, service provision and treatment outcomes need to be improved.
